Tower! Simulator 3, developed and published by FeelThere and released on 13 December 2022, is an air traffic control simulation that places players in the role of a tower controller. It allows management of runway operations, departures and arrivals, taxiing, and ground traffic, giving a detailed view of airport operations from both a 3D control tower perspective and a 2D graphical interface. The game also features realistic pilot voices and a voice-recognition system that enables communication with pilots through spoken commands.

As a Windows PC title, Tower! Simulator 3 has been expanded through downloadable airport packs and content add-ons. These expansions increase the variety of airports available, providing players with more complex scenarios and operational challenges beyond the base set included at launch.

In promoting Tower! Simulator 3, the developers highlighted its realism and next-generation features, such as advanced lighting, the voice-recognition communication system, and the combination of 3D and 2D views. Marketing targeted both aviation enthusiasts and professionals, emphasizing the detailed simulation and the potential use of the game as a training tool for aspiring air traffic controllers.

The game’s reception has been mostly positive, with praise directed at its ambitious scope, realistic simulation, and the immersive voice-recognition feature. Many players have appreciated the level of detail in airport operations and the ability to manage complex traffic situations in real time.

However, some users have reported issues with the voice-recognition system, noting that it can be inconsistent at times. Additionally, certain missions lack the ability to save and resume, which has been a limitation for players wanting more flexible gameplay. Overall, Tower! Simulator 3 has been recognized as a significant step forward in realistic air traffic control simulation.
